Wait, I'm sorry, people are upset we brought back Gonzo? Are you people crazy? You want us to tell the GOAT TE and one of our top 4 offensive players to take a hike to we could have kept an aging RT and a mediocre TE?

Gonzo had us in a corner. He pretty much had a black check. Should he have taken less? Maybe, but his impact is what separates us from the rest of the "good but not great" teams._________________

Sam Bradford is about as good as Matt Ryan, so when the Falcons get a good QB we can call each other.

I don't think anyone doubts the significance of TG to the team. But at what cost? A mediocre Oline and Dline? 3mill could of helped both. A TE like Dustin Keller was out there. He is not a slouch and Ryan would have made him really good. At some point we gotta have faith our 100mil QB can make good players very good to great._________________

Hindsight is 20/20. That's easy to say now, but the staff wanted to give the young guys on the line a chance. Mike Johnson was the favorite to start at RT and he got injured. It's still early and you have to figure they'll get better as the season progresses. As far as the defensive line goes, I thought they looked good out there. Osi and Biermann did a good job of applying pressure and Babs was effective getting penetration as he has ever been._________________

Peters was doing just as well as Babs at getting pressure from what I saw out there. And both were penetrating against the run and making plays there. DT's are only really a draft 2014 need because the Falcons have just Travian Robertson under contract. But with how Peters and Babs are playing, I'd re-sign both of them._________________

Peters was good in the run game, but he wasn't getting as much pressure as Babs was. Babs was consistently pushing the pocket and getting penetration._________________

Both were doing well. That was the main point. Peters took a LOT of double teams inside too. So I took that into consideration._________________

That's what separates the great teams from the mediocre ones. Great teams use their money to retain their own FAs. Mediocre ones blow their's on aging talent._________________
